Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick) novel Chapter 409

I was shocked. Turning my head, I saw that Patrick unexpectedly stood somewhere not far away from us. Unlike the ones pushing carts around us, he only had a bottle of energy drink in his hands.

It seemed that he would leave after buying something.

By the time I looked over, Patrick had been looking at us with a little gloomy look in his eyes.

Looking at him, I couldn't help but feel nervous.

Actually, during this period, I had been calculating the days. The deadline of three months Patrick had set had passed.

But he hadn't contacted me yet. As I was about to give up, I saw him here instead, which was a bit ironic.

"Dad!"

Glenn ran over to Patrick first.

Beside me, Jason was stunned for a moment before asking, "Sister Janetta, is he your ex... ex-husband?"

"Ex-husband..." "Does Patrick count as my ex-husband?"

"Strictly speaking, he is sort of."

I nodded, "Yes."

Patrick bowed his head and smiled at Glenn a little perfunctorily. Then, he walked toward us without looking askance.

And he stood still directly in front of Jason. He, who was a little taller than Jason, sized him up and looked at me coldly, asking, "Who is he?"

"He is..."

My first reaction was to explain to Patrick. Soon, I felt that I didn't need to do so. Anyway, Patrick and I had nothing to do with each other. What was the point of explaining to him?

So I said, "Does it have anything to do with you, Mr. Cowell?"

Hearing my words, Patrick looked even more gloomy.

At this time, Glenn shouted on the side instead, "This is Brother Jason! I am on summer vacation now. Mom asked Brother Jason to accompany me! He taught me many French words, played games with me, and built Lego pieces with me! He is good to me!"

Glenn, a child, lived in a simple world. When he spoke, his eyes were shining like stars.

Naturally, he couldn't tell the lines between

Patrick's words.

But I could.

Moreover, the more Glenn talked, the more gloomy Patrick looked.

As Glenn said that Jason treated him quite well, Patrick's face didn't change. However, he surely would be angry soon.

Originally, I thought that he would do something and say something.

However, unexpectedly, without saying anything, he put the energy drink on the shelf beside him, turned around, and left.

I wanted to call him. However, I opened my mouth and held myself back in the end.

"I've been living a good life by myself for such a long time, haven't I?"

"I don't need him. Without him, my life will be unusually peaceful."

"So, I don't need him."

I told myself in silence.

However, for no reason, I felt lost in my heart.

It wasn't until Patrick could no longer be seen in the supermarket that I withdrew my gaze and said, "Let's pay the bill."

Glenn looked up and asked me with confusion in his eyes, "Mom, is Dad angry?"

I bit my lips, wondering how to explain it. In the end, I just picked him up and made him sit at the front of the shopping cart designed for kids, saying, "No, Dad is too busy."

"Really? I thought Dad no longer wanted me."

When Glenn said this, he looked aggrieved.

Looking at him, I felt heart-wrenching. However, I didn't know how to comfort him.

At this time, Jason on the side raised his hand to rub Glenn's hair and said, "Of course, your dad won't do that. Every father in the world loves his children the most. Of course, your dad surely won't abandon you."

"Is it true?"

"It's true!"

Jason nodded with certainty.
